This is happening (or has already). The code has been written by one of
the GCC GSoC students (now at Oracle) Dalibor Topic:
"Integrating OpenJDK's javac bytecode compiler into gcj "
https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2007-gcc/downloads/detail?n=
ame=3DDalibor_Topic.tar.gz&can=3D2&q=3D
Someone integrating that into mainline would be welcome I think.
